Now that those other "Album of the Year" candidates have been exposed as the sad imposters that they really are, the true Album of the Year can step forward. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you RATATAT. This is truly the best use of guitars in anything that might possibly be considered IDM in the past five years, at least. Not including that edIT disc, which is pretty awesome, too. Plus, it's E*Vax! C'mon! Standouts include, but are not limited to: Seventeen Years (RAWK!!!) El Pico (check out those arpeggios!) Cherry (for the emo kids) Riffs, yeah! Can u dig it? -Alan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

You know, I first listened to the album last weekend and thought it was crap, but thanks to you I just pulled it out again to give it another shot. It really is pretty remarkable. Definitely off-track for me, but there's a lot of interesting happenings in it. Kinda have to pull my brain back into the college rock mode I was in during the 90s to fully appreciate it, but it's a good album, no doubt. But album of the year? Oh hell no.

Of course not. Album of the year is o9 - 'Church of the Ghetto P.C.', on Schematic. Thought we'd already decided that. ;) seek np: Vulva - Vulvic Yonification (source.de) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
